As the dust is settling on the last 15 years of this insanity, and the monopolies are being cemented, is Zuck not the only one left standing independently? Of the big guys, the early "wizkid founder" types, who else is left towing the line and controlling the destiny of their company? And who else is maintaining that techno-utopianist optimism publicly? I sort of admire the guy, if only for how every time he speaks, it feels like a time portal to 2009.


To be fair to him, he basically just wants to rule the (social) world.

And he was much, much younger than the Google founders who are the only real comparison (in that they consistently make money).


There are others. Zuck has leverage over Facebook so he stays. The others have leverage over other institutions.
